part of this goes back to the old who is zope's target audience days, when 
content managers were supposed to use the zmi directly. plus its just 
generally less confusion, imo.

that said, zope doesn't stop a *developer* from doing it themselves. ie, you 
can very easily call the factory method directly passing a connection id from 
a python script, or directly instantiate the zsql method in the product.
